Back to the gridiron for more high school football. This time, we didn't have any specific players we needed video of, so I just shot game action like I would for a "regular" assignment. This wasn't too bad, since Hardaway hung 51 first-half-points on Columbus. If you want to do this, and add a voice over narrative, here are a few pointers.
....Make sure you get a program listing all the players. You'll be keeping notes of particular plays, but will find other video where you'll need to identify someone who makes a good tackle or a hard hit.
....Shoot the scoreboard after each score. Still photographers do this to keep track of the action and identify important plays/moments.
....Keep an eye on the sideline. In this game, Columbus' starting quarterback was injured, but on the sideline hobbling around on crutches. This turned out to be an important part of the story.
....Identify your weaknesses and plan to concentrate on them during your next outing. I'll be working on following pass plays, since I had very little luck at this game. It's always a good practice to mentally go over every aspect of a shoot both immediately afterwards and then later to develop a list of things you did well and those you need extra wok on.
